ClimaTeens is a group of dedicated teens 14 to 18 year olds who care about the oceans and want to contribute to a healthy future. Teens in the program arrive with various levels of knowledge about climate change, but they are united by a desire to learn more about it as an issue of concern and are committed to learning ways to engage public audiences, particularly their peers.
